  • The Long Sun series

    As a long time fan of the New Sun series I was wary of disappointment when I started the Long Sun series. I need not have worried. Again Gene Wolfe has succeeded in creating a welcoming world.

  • Excellent continuation of the Solar Cycle

    Wolfe can do no wrong in his Solar Cycle. A great 'sequel' to BotNS, fascinating themes and amazing prose.
